Although E.S. uses the HWT workbook in her occupational therapy sessions, implementing those same teaching strategies earlier, in daily sessions in the general education classroom, could have been productive in preventing poor handwriting skills or habilitating more effective handwriting strategies for her. Since OT practitioners can act as consultants in the general education classroom settings, integrating HWT into daily classroom sessions could be beneficial to E.S. as she would be exposed to the effective teaching methods of HWT daily, as opposed to biweekly, with the added benefit of inclusive OT instruction. Doing so would not only provide the practical benefits of specific HWT techniques, but would also provide an avenue of confidence for E.S. as she would be learning along-side her classmates instead of learning from them
